Bradycardia and hypotension associated with fomepizole infusion during hemodialysis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
UNLABELLED: We report a case of hypotension and bradycardia associated with intravenous fomepizole infusion. CASE REPORT: A 59-year-old man presented to hospital 10 hours after ethylene glycol ingestion with ataxia, slurred speech, metabolic acidosis, heart rate 70/min, blood pressure 160/100 mmHg. Treatment with hemodialysis and fomepizole began 7.5 hours after admission. Severe bradycardia (29/min) and hypotension (69 mmHg systolic) occurred immediately following a 30 minute intravenous infusion of the first (19 mg/kg) fomepizole dose, but rapidly corrected with 1 mg atropine. Transient bradycardia (48/min) and hypotension (89/57 mmHg) recurred immediately after the second (10 mg/kg) fomepizole dose, also given during dialysis. DISCUSSION: Hemodialysis may cause a drop in blood pressure and heart rate; however, the close temporal relationship with fomepizole infusions, dose-related symptom intensity and recurrence with rechallenge suggest a causal relationship with fomepizole. Hemodialysis, acidosis and high initial fomepizole dose may have enhanced patient susceptibility, as a post-dialysis fomepizole dose was well tolerated. CONCLUSION: Fomepizole may precipitate bradycardia and/or hypotension during hemodialysis. Monitor vital signs closely during and immediately after infusion.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
